WASTE OF TIME

I don't know where to begin. He is a leach who is just after your money. Does not know anything and he is always behind and do not remember anything all he does dump his work to his assistant who is dumber than him. I was fooled by his consultation and hired him and after 11 months had to fire h...im. he did not do a single thing and only sent bills after bills and wasted my time for entire year. please do not let him to fool you. go somewhere else and you will be better off on your own than this charlatan!

He works with the doctors and treatment centers to get your cost down to the lowest possible. I would always call on him whenever I need an attorney.

Excellent is an understatement

If i could rate higher than 5 stars i would without hesitation. Back in January i was in a near fatal motorcycle accident where a driver coming the other way pulled out in front of me last second and stopped. luckily i was able to jump off my bike just missing the back of the SUV, but hit the ground ...very hard and at a pretty good speed. After spending 5 days in the Trauma ICU i was sent home with several broken ribs, completely broken shoulder, 20+ staples down my abdomen, one lung at half capacity, several other injuries, a totaled motorcycle, and a broken spirit. I knew i needed a lawyer but didn't know where to start. Fortunately for me Attorney Gary Lazarus was referred and highly recommend to me by a close friend. When i called Mr Lazarus i noticed immediately that his attention and concern was towards my well being, health, and safety. Due to my extensive injuries i could not really walk, sit in a car, and had trouble breathing. Mr Lazarus without hesitation offered to come to my home and speak with me in person. Although i was very nervous about hiring a good lawyer i was very relieved by the way that Mr Lazarus carefully explained everything he planned on doing, and back up plans in-case things became more difficult than need be. He did an excellent job in making sure i understood exactly what was happening, what was going to happen, and any paperwork i signed before i signed it. Mr lazarus immediately got to work documenting and getting photos of all my injuries, securing any and all insurance information, medical bill claims, medical records, accident reports, and even a private investigator to conduct their own investigation into the accident. Since my motorcycle was my only mode of transportation, Mr Lazarus also made sure the other parties insurance company got me a rental car, so i could get to my doctors appointments and whatever else i need to do, as well as getting my bike quickly and fairly appraised and paid out so i could buy a new vehicle. Since my medical bills were well into the six figures i didn't really think i was going to get anything back, but Mr. Gary Lazarus and his partner Mrs. Arleen Lazarus almost immediately got what we had discussed as far as payment from the other drivers auto insurance company. After that they worked extremely hard with my Medical insurance, The Hospital, and with all the other medical providers i had to see to get the claims worked down to the lowest amount possible. Mrs. Arleen Lazarus would even call me periodically to go through each claim individually and go over the amounts and what they were able to get them down to. That way they could make sure all the providers got paid, and i could get them most back without having to pay out of my pocket. I could not be any happier with the way things turned up. I'm able to buy a new bike now and invest in my future! but most importantly they made sure i made a full recovery from all my injuries. I have my health and my life back thanks them. I am extremely grateful for all the help i received from Mr. Gary Lazarus, Mrs. Arleen Lazarus, and their team at Lazarus & Lazarus. I highly recommend them anyone and everyone.

Lazarus & Lazarus law firm

Tragedy struck our family in the form of an automobile accident. Knowing I wouldn't stand a chance going up against the insurance companies alone I knew I had to have an attorney to help fight for our case. Here in south Florida everywhere you look there's a billboard advertising for a law fir...m. Word-of-mouth goes a lot further than a name in lights. A colleague of mine referred me to the Lazarus and Lazarus law firm and I found upon my Initial consultation that Gary Lazarus is very straightforward and knowledgeable. I was made no promises, but I was told the plan of action and that was found that to be a great comfort. I wasn't sold any dreams but instead was informed of what to expect. At the end of the day Gary and his team delivered a victory in our case. Our Medical expenses were reduced to pennies on the dollar. and the rest of the settlement was enough to help us get back on track. I know I wouldn't have been able to accomplish that alone. God for bid tragedy strikes are family again but if it does I know my first call will be the Lazarus and Lazarus law firm.
